Summer Homes 

ON THE HARLEM AND THE HUDSON 



" And in the woods and meadows I might glean 
Such consciousness of Pastoral content 
As should compose the frenzy in the eyes, 
And cool the fever of the lips that thirst." 




EW questions are more vitally important 
and at the same time more perplexing to 
the average man than these — "To what 
place shall I remove my family where they 
may enjoy the benefit of pure air, good 
water and pleasant surroundings, which 
will be at the same time convenient to 
my business, and where my expenses will 
be materially reduced ?" or, "Where shall 
we spend the summer ? " 

The object of this book is to present to 
those in search of either a permanent country home or a 
temporary Summer residence, the attractions of the delight- 
ful country traversed by the picturesque Harlem and Hudson 
River Divisions of the New York Central & Hudson River 
Railroad. Thriving suburban towns within from 15 to 
50 minutes' ride of Grand Central Station — in the very 
center of New York City — present manifest advantages for 



IO SUMMER HOMES OX THE 

family residence, in comparison with the overcrowded me- 
tropolis, both on the score of economy and healthfullness. 
In this connection should also be mentioned the admirable 
service of rapid transit trains now in operation on both 
lines, and the very reasonable commutation fares enjoyed 
by suburban residents. 

Grand Central Station on Forty-second Street, New 
York, at which all trains over the New York Central &: 
Hudson River Railroad arrive and depart, is an immense 
structure, and is regarded by strangers as one of the sights 




GRAND CENTRAL STATION. 

of New York. It extends 696 feet along Vanderbilt 
Avenue, and with the Annex, presents a frontage on Forty- 
second Street of 379 feet. The tracks in and about Grand 
Central Station are controlled by the Saxby & Farmer 
system of interlocking switches — the most perfect yet 
invented. An English invention, known as the Sykes sys- 
tem of block signals is in use on the Hudson Division, 
while the Harlem Division is protected by the Pneumatic 
System as far north as White Plains, affording as nearly 
absolute protection from accident as human ingenuity has 
yet devised. 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 1 1 

The four miles of road intervening between the Grand 
Central Station and the Harlem River are a triumph of 
genius, and an enduring monument to the most wonderful 
engineering skill of modern times. As we glide along — 
now under, now over — this renowned structure, there is 
something novel and pleasing in the consciousness that we 
are riding over, a road-bed that cost nearly two million dol- 
lars a mile, while the fares average lower than on any other 
railroad in the world. From the substantial iron bridge 
which spans the Harlem River, and forms a connecting 
link between Manhattan Island and the mainland, a remark- 
able scene is presented, especially in the Summer months ; 
a scene combining so much on land and water that is in- 
spiriting and lovely, one never wearies of it though it be 
looked upon day after day. There are, indeed, few places 
in the world where the eye can so quickly take in a scene 
so animated, so varied in beauty, extending on one hand to 
the islands in the East River, with their great institutions 
of charity and reform, and on the other hand to Washing- 
ton Heights on the Hudson, and High Bridge, with its 
graceful outlines and lofty tower. In a few moments after 
crossing the Harlem River, we arrive at 

138th Street Station (Mott Haven), a point deserv- 
ing of something more than passing notice. The center of 
population of the metropolis has moved northward so 
rapidly during recent years as to have created a need for 
improved train service and station accommodations up town. 
Realizing the present need, and undoubted requirements in 
the near future, a new and commodious station has been 
built at 138th Street that in architectural beauty and utility 
of design is an ornament to the upper part of the city and 
a great convenience to the public. 



12 SUMMER HOMES ON THE 

The principal trains of both the Harlem and the Hud- 
son River Divisions stop at this station. On the ridge to 
the west of the station, commanding extensive views both 
east and west, are several handsome avenues, dotted with 
attractive homes, some of them classed among the finest in 
the city. The ground near the river is occupied by numer- 
ous manufactories and other business industries, some of 
which have a national reputation. The Fourth and Madi- 
son Avenue cars runs direct to the station at 138th Street, 
which can also be reached by the Third Avenue line and 
connections,

A.t Mott Haven Junction the lines of the Hudson 
River and the Harlem Divisions diverge, the former curv- 
ing westward to the Hudson River, the latter continuing 
due north. 

Extensive improvements affecting the entire line north 
of the Harlem River, within the city limits — a distance of 
seven miles — have recently been completed and mark a 
successful termination of an undertaking of vast import- 
ance, involving the lowering of the surface of the old road- 
bed below the street level and carrying the streets over the 
track, thus avoiding grade crossings. The new road-bed 
contains four tracks, laid with heavy steel rails upon standard 
ties and 18 inches of broken stone ballast. The two central 
tracks are for the exclusive use of through express trains, 
and the two outer tracks accommodate the local or rapid 
transit trains. The track has been depressed an average 
of eight feet below its former level, the grade of the adjoin- 
ing streets being raised eight to 14 feet. The excavation 
is lined with cut stone masonry-walls. Twenty-one of the 
city streets which formerly crossed the track at grade are 
carried over the four tracks by iron bridges, of the full width 
of the road -ways and sidewalks, and five of the old station 
buildings have been replaced by handsome iron structures,

of much architectural beauty, built over the track, on the 
same level and in connection with the adjacent bridges 
which form the approaches to these stations. The length 
of the new station buildings is 69 feet across the track, the

width 26 feet. Each accommodates a ticket office, waiting 
rooms, ladies' retiring rooms, two baggage lifts for handling 
baggage, and two stairways descending to the platforms at 
the tracks on either side, for " up " and " down " trains. 
The platforms are 500 feet in length and ten feet wide. The 
cost of these improvements was in the neighborhood of 
$2,000,000, while the benefit conferred upon residents along 
the line is practically inestimable. 

Continuing on our way we pass through Melrose, Mor- 
risania and Tremont, all handsome suburbs of the City, 
which have been so rapidly settled within the past few 
years that their identity is all but merged in that of the 
great metropolis. In nine miles we reach 

Fordham, the seat of St. John's College, a noted Roman 
Catholic institution, whose buildings and spacious grounds 
are seen to the right of the track. The popularity of Ford- 
ham as a place of residence is attested by the large number 
of tasteful houses built within the last few years, as well as 
the number now in course of erection. There is an excel- 
lent public school here, a number of good stores and several 
churches. 

On some idle afternoon when you feel like rambling, 
take the train to Fordham ; there leave the railway, and 
keeping St. John's College on the left, stroll along the 
highway to the Bronx River, and turning up the stream 
wander along its banks to Williams Bridge, a distance of 
perhaps two miles. The variety of wood, hill, glen and 
cascade is infinite, and fine trees shade you the entire dis- 
tance. This walk will be a revelation to the average New 
Yorker, and cause him to wonder how it is that such a 
lovely region, so near the city, could have remained unin- 
habited until now. The next station is

Bedford Park, a beautiful and rapidly growing place, 
and the residence of a number of well-known New Yorkers, 
whose tasteful villas embellish the broad and handsome 
avenues of the Park. 

Opposite the station is the site of the new Bronx River 
Park.

The New York Herald, to whose courtesy we are 
indebted for several of the illustrations appearing on this 
and succeeding pages, published in a recent issue a highly 
interesting article relative to the proposed establishment of 
a botanical garden, museum and arboretum, fashioned 
somewhat on the plan of the magnificent Kew Gardens of 
London, at Bronx River Park, from which the following is 
abstracted : 

" I suppose there are thousands and thousands and even 
hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who have never

not resorted to even in Summer by the great masses of the 
population because attention has never been drawn to its 
wonders. Were it not for a very occasional park policeman 
jogging by in his Confederate gray, it requires no effort of 
the imagination to locate yourself in Sherwood Forest or in 
any other sylvan scene which may attract your fancy. The 
park is about 800 acres in extent, lying in the 23d and 24th

wards of New York City and Westchester County. All 
that portion of the park north of the Bronx is in West- 
chester. 

"The park was purchased in 1884 for $3,000,000, from the 
estate of the late Peter Loriliard and several other property 
owners. Since then the Department of Parks has only been 
allowed $20,000 annually for the keeping in repair and im- 
proving of Bronx, Pelham and Van Cortlandt Parks and the 
four other parks which were acquired almost at the same 
time by the department on the northern confines of the city. 
An insignificant sum with which really wonders have been 
accomplished. 

" Bronx Park, however, it must be said, came into the 
possession of the city in a magnificent condition. For the

contented murmur through mossy banks, now with tem- 
pestuous roar through great granite walls, beautifully 
shaded throughout its course, from Williams Bridge to the 
Sound, with umbrageous oaks and hemlocks, spruce, maple

Edgar Allen Poe — during the many years he lived in the

perhaps only Ruskin since his day has painted, the beauties 
of woodland scenery in his " Magic Garden." Beautiful as

Botanical Garden. The Bronx River furnishes an abund- 
ance of water, there is a plenty of protective timber, the soil 
is fertile, and there is both low and high lying land — in fact, 
an ideal site, and it is to be hoped that the Legislature 
making the foundations broad and deep, wealthy lovers of 
the flowers of the field will before the next spring has come 
begin the erection of a building at which New Yorkers may 
point with pride, and in which thousands and thousands who 
otherwise would never see a natural flower, of even our 
own flora, may behold the variegated, fragrant plants that 
the sun beholds in every world and in every clime in its 
daily course and profit by this elevating and educating sight.

not the space to dwell on here. The reader had better go 
and see for himself. He will doubtless be surprised, as I 
was, to find muskrats as large as spaniels racing up and 
down the river in perfect unconcern at the wonderment of 
spectators, in whose ears the roar of the elevated railroad 
has not subsided. In a bosky glade there is a quaint hol- 
low in a massive rock where, carefully shielded from gaze, 
it is supposed the noble savage was accustomed to bathe. 
The rock has certainly been hollowed out by human handi- 
work, and old Peter Lorillard always claimed that the spot 
was the Indian bathing place." In connection with Bronx 
Park, people, in looking at the little stream, will be apt to 
recall the familiar tradition about the British fleet which was 
ordered to sail up that river to attack White Plains. In 
traversing this section so near the great city it is difficult to 
connect it with its aboriginal inhabitants, its primeval for- 
ests, and the stirring times antedating the Declaration of 
Independence, but nevertheless the fact remains that West- 
chester county is associated with a good deal of Indian his- 
tory, and relics of these interesting precursors of civilization 
are still found with surprising frequency. 

Williams Bridge, eleven miles from New York, is a 
very attractive place, and shows year by year a healthful 
and natural growth in population and land values. A hand- 
some new station with attractive exterior and commodious 
waiting rooms and baggage rooms, and a tasteful lawn at 
the rear has recently been erected here. One mile beyond is 

Woodlawn, where is located the largest and most 
beautiful of the many cemeteries in the vicinity of New 
York. The cemetery, however, is not Woodlawn's only 
claim to distinction. Crowning the hills north and east 
of the station are many handsome cottages occupied by 



26 SUMMER HOMES ON THE 

the families of New York business men who have made 
the discovery that no locality in the vicinity of the city 
offers better inducements for residence. The elevation is 
sufficient to dispel any idea of malaria, the drainage perfect, 
the surroundings delightful. Also, Woodlawn enjoys with 
one or two exceptions the most ample train service of any 
station on the line. 

Mount Vernon, thirteen miles from New York, is now 
a full fledged city, offering inducements for residence which 
are scarcely equalled by any other place in the vicinity of 
the metropolis. It has a population of about 15,000. The 
city is attractively laid out, and contains many fine churches 
and schools, and also a large number of elegant and tasteful 
dwellings. The streets are broad and generally well paved, 
lighted and sewered. The houses are for the most part 
surrounded by gardens or terraced lawns. A line of horse- 
cars crossing the town meets all trains of the Harlem road. 
The growth of Mount Vernon within the past few years has 
been very rapid, and the march of progress tends steadily 
onward. 

Bronxville, the next stopping place, is set in the midst 
of exceptionally beautiful surroundings, and the visitor 
notices everywhere evidences of healthful growth and enter- 
prise. Armour Villa Park, on a pretty hillside to the left 
of the track, within three minutes' walk of the Bronxville 
station, is one of the most beautiful and tasteful collection 
of villas in Westchester county. The park has been laid 
out with pretty lawns and broad avenues of dazzling white- 
ness spread with broken marble from the famous quarries at 
Tuckahoe. Distant views of the Palisades, villas and cot- 
tages surrounded by fine trees, and miles upon miles of 
forest growth, stretching out towards the Harlem and the 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 27 

Hudson, make a charming picture. Opposite Bronxville 
is Lawrence Park, with many of the characteristics of 
Armour Villa. 

Tuckahoe, sixteen miles from New York, is famed for 
its extensive marble quarries, whose product is shipped to 
all parts of the United States. It is^a handsome town of 
about 1,700 inhabitants, and now more than ever before 
seems animated by the genius of improvement. To meet 
the demand for building sites several old country seats have 
been put on the market, and building is rapidly progressing. 
Seven hundred yards from the station is Mohegan Park, 
which boasts a location unsurpassed for beauty and health- 
fulness. Looking toward the west may be seen the Pal- 
isades of the Hudson and on the east the waters of the 
Sound. The foothills of the Berkshires are visible at the 
north, and the towers and spires of New York City at the 
south. The soil is dry and sandy and the natural drainage 
perfect. The water supply is from an artesian well, and is 
the best and purest that can be obtained. 

It is proposed to make Mohegan Park an ideal place for 
suburban homes and no pains or expense will be spared in 
laying out and beautifying its public grounds and drives. 

Victoria Park, the imposing entrance to which is seen 
just over the hill to the left of the station, comprises about 
70 acres, situated in the city of Yonkers, of which it forms 
part of the Fourth Ward. The property consists of fine 
level meadow land, slightly sloping to the west, thus assur- 
ing perfect drainage ; the soil is a fertile sandy loam. Im- 
provements are being pushed with energy, and a number 
of handsome houses have already been erected ; this season 
will doubtless see many others under way. 

Yonkers Park, adjoining Tuckahoe, also located in 



2 8 SUMMER HOMES ON THE 

the Fourth Ward of Yonkers, is situated on high ground, 
and is rapidly developing. Extensive improvements have 
already been made, and more are promised. Streets and 
drives of generous width have been not only laid out but 
they are opened, graded, curbed and flagged. Handsome 
entrances have been constructed at the approaches to the 
main avenue, and landscape gardeners and architects are 
actively employed in beautifying the spot. Three miles 
north of Tuckahoe is the pretty village of 

Scarsdale, which offers special inducements to those in 
search of a healthful and quiet country home. The broad 
acres of the old Arthur Manor have been purchased by a 
syndicate of capitalists, who are rapidly prosecuting the 
work of grading, opening streets and avenues and marking 
out corner lots. Investors will do well to look the ground 
over at Scarsdale before deciding upon another location. 
Less than two miles beyond is 

Hartsdale, another attractive Westchester village, con- 
taining several Summer boarding houses. Passing Harts- 
dale we enter a very pretty stretch of country, with rolling 
hills to the right and left, and skirting the track the silvery 
Bronx, now broader and deeper than where we left it a few 
miles below, and wearing more the aspect of a river. Cross- 
ing a substantial iron bridge and sweeping around a grand 
curve we enter 

White Plains, the capital of Westchester County, 22 
miles from New York, and one of the finest towns on the 
road. The history of White Plains antedates the Revolu- 
tion, and is full of interest. In 1663, more than two cen- 
turies ago, English settlers from Greenwich, Conn., pur- 
chased from the Indians a tract of ground called Quaroppas, 
or, as thev named it, "The White Plains." The title was

disputed, however, and the dispute operated to prevent a 
settlement of the Plains until about 1720. In 172 1 certain 
persons living in what we now call White Plains obtained 
for themselves a grant from the British Government of 
4,435 acres, and divided the land. Among the owners we 
find the well-known town names of Underhill, Hatfield, 
Horton and Brown. 

On the 28th of October, 1776, the battle of White Plains 
was fought, the principal and decisive part of the engage- 
ment being at Chatterton Hill, a little to the west of the 
railroad and across the Bronx River. Washington, who 
was personally in command, made his headquarters just 
north of the town, about one mile from the railroad station. 
The principal street is about a mile long, very wide, and, 
being thickly shaded, forms an attractive feature of the 
town. It was given to the village by George III. White 
Plains is especially distinguished for its healthfulness. This 
fact, with its accessibility, makes it very desirable to many 
persons for Summer homes. New water works have been 
recently constructed, and the village is now favored with 
as good a system of water supply as can be found anywhere. 
About six miles distant, on the Sound Shore, are Haw- 
thorn Beach, Rye Beach, Milton Point, and other 
attractive resorts that afford excellent fishing and bathing. 
All of these points are reached by one or another of the 
beautiful drives for which Westchester County is noted. 
Proceeding northward from White Plains a charming land- 
scape reveals itself in varied manifestations of wondrous 
beauty. Rare combinations of mountain, stream and foliage 
greet the eye in endless variety, the whole forming a pan- 
orama of rural scenery incomparable for beauty, pictur- 
esqueness and variety. A run of three miles brings us to 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 31 

Kensico, one of the most charming villages on the 
line. Lake Kensico, of which a fleeting glimpse is obtained 
as the train enters the station, is bosomed in the hills that 
rise directly back of .the village. It is two miles long and 
about half a mile wide. Fronting and overlooking the 
Lake is beautiful Kensico Park, which is being very taste- 
fully laid out, and will soon be the center of a large perma- 
nent population. North of the station for some distance, 
and extending on both sides of the track, is the New 
Amsterdam Park, where the process of development has 
only just begun. About ioo rods north on a dope to the 
west of the track is the handsome new station of Ken- 
sico Cemetery. 

Unionville, the next station beyond, is most delight- 
fully situated and offers many inducements, either for 
permanent residence, or a temporary Summer home. 

The country is quite hilly, and lakes and streams abound. 
Buttermilk Hill, said to be the highest point of land in 
Westchester County, overlooks the village on the west. 
From its summit are obtained fine views of the Hudson 
Highlands, the Statue of Liberty in New York Bay and 
the spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Sherman Park, one 
of the most popular, healthful and picturesque suburban 
home sites on the line, begins about half a mile south of 
Unionville, east of and adjoining the railroad property, and 
extends north as far as Pleasantville. A handsome new 
station for the Park has been erected aboutjnidway between 
Unionville and Pleasantville, and arrangements have been 
made to stop a number of important trains there for the 
accommodation of Park residents. Streets have already 
been opened, avenues laid out, and a large number of 
attractive houses erected. 



32 SUMMER HOMES ON THE 

Pleasantville, 31 miles from New York, has improved 
very rapidly during the past year, from 15 to 25 houses 
having been erected within that time. Good board can be 
obtained here for the Summer, and a more desirable spot it 
would be difficult to find. Two miles further on is 

Chappaqua, where Horace Greeley lived, and learned 
what he knew about farming. Unique and aboriginal as 
the name is, there are many who think the place should 
have been named Pleasant Valley, for surrounding hills 
never bosomed a pleasanter. So thoroughly was it drained 
by the late. Mr. Greeley — who spent the happiest hours of 
his life upon its meadows and hillsides — that malarial 
diseases never invade its quiet dwellings. The unpreten- 
tious but tasteful house that was Mr. Greeley's home, was 
totally destroyed by fire a few years ago, and his daughter 
now occupies what was formerly the old stone barn, but has 
been transformed by a skillful architect into a handsome 
and commodious residence. The forest, where for more 
than 20 years Mr. Greeley's axe taught the sapling how to 
mature into the well-shaped and graceful tree, is still the 
resort of the meditative and the gay. All about Chappaqua 
are charming groves and rocky dells, and dotting the hill- 
sides many sightly and comfortable homes which invite the 
weary denizen of the great city to spend, at reasonable 
cost, the Summer hours which custom permits him to with- 
draw from the counting-room or workshop. 

The Chappaqua Mountain Institute, known as the 
" seat of Quaker learning," is situated here, and its ample 
grounds and buildings are thrown open during the Summer 
vacation to guests who may wish to occupy its comfortable 
and airy rooms. Here, too, is the old Quaker Church, once 
occupied by sick and wounded soldiers of the Revolution, 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON.

and on the surrounding slopes lie the bones of many a hero 
who fought and died for liberty. There are two good 
hotels and several desirable boarding places in the village, 
and the drives are interesting and numerous. Resuming 
our journey, an entertaining ride of about four miles brings 
us to 

Mount Kisco, an interesting and thriving place of 
1,500 population, 37 miles from New York. Like most of 
the towns of Westchester and other counties lying on the 
east bank of the Hudson, Mount Kisco is favored with 
charming drives, freshened by fragrant groves and rippling 
rills, affording many and various glimpses of a landscape 
charming in the extreme. Situated at a considerable alti- 
tude above the sea-level, Mount Kisco enjoys a pure, brisk

air, and rarely beautiful natural environments. Like a 
jewel in its setting, the village nestles amid wooded hills, 
charming valleys and limpid streams, surrounded on all sides 
by an ever-changing and increasingly fascinating landscape. 
A network of country roads, everywhere presenting views 
that charm the eye, spreads in all directions, affording a 
never-ending combination of drives whose attractiveness 
is not soon exhausted. Sharp turns around the bases of 
steep hills, now wending through a deep ravine, then at the 
very edge of a precipice, give a variety of views that is 
really kaleidoscopic. 

A short drive over a picturesque road in a northeasterly 
direction brings the sight-seer to Croton Lake, a beautiful 
body of pure drinking water for the denizens of the great 
metropolis. Here is good fishing, and on both sides excel- 
lent driveways, while at a little distance back green hills 
present their irregular outlines against the sky. Two 
miles farther one is brought face to face with one of the 
mightiest engineering feats in all ages — the new Croton 
Aqueduct — which cannot fail to well repay even repeated 
visits. Just west of the village flows the quiet Kisco, 
from which the place derives its name (meaning "still 
water "), and in every direction are streams of more or less 
magnitude, while springs of pure, sparkling cold water are 
almost as numerous as wells. At the northwestern limits 
of the village looms up old Kisco Mountain, like a sentinel 
over the settlement. Since its incorporation, twelve years 
ago, a wise administration of village affairs, backed by a 
commendable degree of public spirit, has done much for 
the place. There are over three miles of village streets 
with stone side-walks, well laid and in good repair. The 
houses are of tasteful design, and their surroundings are 



36 SUMMER HOMES ON THE 

neat and attractive. Numerous grocery, dry goods and 
hardware stores, and meat and vegetable markets, furnish 
all needed family supplies most conveniently. The 
churches are all in a thriving, harmonious condition, and 
the pastors men of ability and earnestness not usually 
found in a village of this size. The Presbyterian, Metho- 
dist Episcopal, Catholic, Protestant Episcopal, and Friends 
denominations have commodious places of worship, all in 
good repair, and not burdened with the customary heavy 
debts. The Union Free School is justly a matter of village 
pride, and is rarely surpassed in excellence even in towns 
much larger. The non-residence attendance at this school 
is large, and is steadily increasing. 

But all these considerations of attractiveness fade before 
that superlatively important one — healthfulness. And in 
this respect Mount Kisco again comes forward with an 
extraordinary and clean record of carefully kept statistics, 
showing the average death-rate to the entire population 
to be ten to i,ooo, comparing most favorably and strik- 
ingly with the New York City mortality statistics of One to 
40, and proving Mount Kisco to be more than twice as 
healthy as the great metropolis. A syndicate of capitalists 
recently formed has purchased a vast tract of land here 
which it is proposed to transform into a park similar to 
Tuxedo, with fish and game preserves, race-course, etc., 
and to construct a handsome club-house and cottages 
which shall be the pride of the country side. After leaving 
Mount Kisco, the next application of air-brakes brings us 
to a standstill at 

Bedford, 39 miles from New York City. Bedford is a 
beautiful village situated at the base of a rocky eminence, 
in one of the most romantic and picturesque parts of West- 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 37 

Chester County. The drives and rambles through and 
along the valley in which this town is situated, and over the 
surrounding slopes and hills are the most charming to be 
met with in this section of the country. 

Lying about one mile to the northwest is Croton Lake, 
studded with green islands, and hemmed in with bold and 
rocky shores ; it abounds with fish of the most gamy sort, 
offering fine sport to the angler ; its waters are frequented 
by all kinds of water fowl, including black and canvas-back 
ducks. 

The natural drainage of this village is perfect. There 
are no miasmatic swamps hereabout ; the water is the most 
wholesome to be met with in Nature, and intermittent fever 
is unknown here. A line of stages connects this village 
with the historic village of the same name, situated about 
four miles distant, once a half-stone town, and destroyed by 
Tarleton and his rangers during the Revolution. The town 
is also supplied with a line of stores, among the best to be 
met with along the entire road ; in addition, a first-class 
hotel and live r y stable. A large number of the most invit- 
ing private boarding houses for Summer boarders are located 
in this vicinity to meet the demands of those wishing to avail 
themselves of the advantages offered by this beautiful 
hamlet. Speeding on, we soon come to a stop at 

Katonah, a romantic village named after an Indian 
chief who originally owned all the lands hereabout, a large 
tract of which was secured by the Jay family, who for gen- 
erations past have made it their home. Katonah is 42 miles 
from New York, has a population of about 700, and is situ- 
ated near the boundary line between Westchester and Put- 
nam counties. It is noted for its hills and valleys, pure 
water and bracing air. The extensive traveler will, now

and then, find a place where those who become accustomed 

to its scenery and general surroundings seldom migrate, and 
contentedly live on to a good old age, when the homestead 
is handed down to the next generation. Katonah is such 
a place. A beautiful stream of clear, pure water runs 
through the village, formed by two branches of the Cross

River and the Beaver Dam, the former finding its origin in 
Lake Waccabuc, and the latter in Woodland Springs. Both 
streams abound in trout. The " whirr " of the partridge, 
the whistle of the quail, the bark of the gray squirrel, as 
well as of the thieving fox in the poultry-yard, remind one 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 39 

that it is " country," and all afford fine sport when the " law 
is off." The town is fully up to its rural surroundings, and 
the enterprise of residents may have carried it a little 
beyond. It has two fine churches, a village improvement 
society, composed of its most eminent citizens, who have 
provided many conveniences and luxuries, including side- 
walks, shade trees and street lamps. There is also a com- 
modious reading-room, with an extensive library, largely 
sustained and patronized by Hon. John Jay, Hon. William 
H. Robertson and Hon. Henry E. Pellew. There are two 
stage lines in operation from Katonah ; one runs to Bouton- 
ville, nine and a half miles, stopping en route at Cross 
River and South Salem ; another runs to Lake Waccabuc, 
seven miles. The railroad company has set apart a piece 
of ground along the platform at the station, which is 
beautifully laid out with flowers during the Summer. A 
ride of two miles farther brings us to 

Golden's Bridge. — This quaint little place, 44 miles 
from New York, may very justly feel a natural pride in its 
surroundings. About four miles to the east of the bridge, 
at the terminus of a drive or walk that presents a con- 
stant succession of charming surprises of nature, we find 
little 

Lake Waccabuc, smiling back at the sun, or timidly 
hiding its ripples in the long shadows of high, overhanging 
foliage. Like all the lakes in this section, Lake Waccabuc 
is well stocked with the choicest variety of fish. 

Twenty years ago the tourist wishing to visit this section 
of Westchester County could not do so in comfort. The 
luxury of comfortably equipped cars was wanting after 
White Plains was reached, and one of the old style four-in- 
hand coaches was substituted for the remainder of the trip. 



40 SUMMER HOMES ON THE 

But now things are different. A short ride on the Harlem 
Railroad to Golden's Bridge, and a drive or walk of a few 
miles over the country eastward, brings him to Waccabuc 
Lakes. As he rides along he sees some of the innumerable 
hiding places of the cowboys of a hundred years ago — the 
" bummers " of the Revolution. A couple of Washington's 
headquarters are reached, and after winding through a 
beautiful wood the three lakes of Waccabuc suddenly lie 
beneath you, strung like glittering jewels on a stream which 
is so shaded by overhanging boughs that the sun never 
reaches its waters. These lakes are located among the 
hills for which Westchester County is justly noted, and are 
remarkably picturesque. The city authorities of New York 
have deepened the channels which connect them, so as to 
have a free flow of water into the last lake, which flows into 
Croton River near by. The passages between the lakes 
are from half a mile to a mile in length, through the woods, 
and each lake is from four to six miles in circumference. 
Choice varieties of fish are plentiful, and the country 
abounds with small game, furnishing ample recreation for 
sportsman and angler. 

The country is rich with stories of red-coats and Indians, 
and many traces of the latter are still to be seen. In the 
center of the lake is the little island of Juan Fernandez, 
with its curious Indian ovens, and a little beyond it is the 
Cedar Grove, a small hill, beautifully shaded, and almost 
surrounded by water — a spot deservedly popular with 
picnicing tourists as well as rustic swains and sweethearts. 

At Golden's bridge we take the Lake Mahopac branch 
of the Harlem Railroad, and ascending a grade of 85 feet 
to the mile for seven miles, we reach one of the most Eden- 
like spots on the face of the globe — 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON.

Lake Mahopac. — The Harlem Road has recently con- 
structed here a handsome new station of the Queen Anne 
style, containing a spacious waiting room, ticket and telegraph 
offices and a covered platform 12 feet wide and 200 feet long. 
It is located at the junction of the Peekskill and Cross roads, 
and distant about 300 feet from the water line of the lake.

cessible and popular than ever before. The lake, which 
has an elevation of nearly 1,000 feet above the sea, 
although but a few miles therefrom, covers an area of 700

light a reminder of fairyland. The charm of its scenery ; 
its unsurpassed drives, including the grand boulevard, which 
entirely encircles the lake, nine miles ; its healthful atmos- 
phere, the variety of pastimes to be enjoyed, free from 
unpleasant surroundings, together with the superior accom- 
modations to be obtained at reasonable rates, make Lake 
Mahopac a place of resort that has few equals. 

The principal hotels are Thompson's beautifully situated 
on the shore of the lake, and with accommodations for 
about 400 guests, and the Dean House, accommodating 
about 150. 

Lakes Waccabuc, Oscawana and Peach, each with its 
own special charm, are all within easy driving distance. 
Situated in the midst of so much that is interesting, it is not 
surprising that the prettiest little lake in our State should 
every Summer attract crowds of visitors from near and far. 
A line of stages runs daily between Lake Mahopac and 
Peekskill, 14 miles, stopping at Mahopac Falls, Jefferson 
Valley, Shrub Oak and Lake Mohegan. Situated about 
midway between Golden's Bridge and Lake Mahopac, on 
the Lake Mahopac Branch of the Harlem Railroad, we find 
the quiet little hamlet of 

Somer's Centre, whose every appearance bespeaks 
comfort, content and health. It has an elevation of 1,000 
feet above the sea, and is entirely free from all malarial 
influences. The surrounding country is mountainous in 
character, charmingly clothed with verdure, and liberally 
supplied with game, both aerial and aquatic, there being 
four lakes (including Lake Mahopac), within a radius of 
three miles. The history of Somer's Centre is full of interest, 
and on every hand can be seen mementoes of the Revolu- 
tionary days. The oldest Methodist Episcopal church in

resume our journey on the main line, and, after passing 
through Purdy's and Croton Falls, we enter Putnam 
County, and stop at

fish, and historical reminiscences, while its healthfulness is 
established beyond question by such evidences as the 
absence of malarial influences, and the long and contented 
lives of its happy inhabitants. Among the farms worthy

of notice may be mentioned the broad acres once tilled by 
the late Daniel Drew, now occupied by his only son, Wil- 
liam H. Drew ; the large estate left by the late Joshua Bar- 
num to his son Stephen C. Barnum ; " Fairview," recently 
sold by John P. Kennedy, President of the Mutual Gas 
Light Company of New York City, to C. C. Fitzhugh ; 
and " Stonehenge," the residence of Seth B. Howe, the 
wealthiest retired showman in the world. The iron mines 
are celebrated for the richness of the deposit and the fine 
engineering displayed in mining and raising the ore. Scores 
of students from various colleges and mining schools visit 
the mines to witness the practical part of the work and 
obtain specimens. They, as well as other visitors, are cor- 
dially welcomed by the superintendents in charge. 

On Doansburg Hill, east of the village, may be seen 
the birthplace of Chancellor Kent, and a church is still stand- 
ing on the site that was occupied by Rev. Elisha Kent, the 
Chancellor's grandfather, about 1740. Houses in which the 
Minute Men held meetings at the beginning of the Revo- 
lutionary War are pointed out, and many near descendants 
of officers in that war are living in that vicinity. The stor- 
age reservoir, maintained for the supply of Croton water to 
New York City, is a beautiful sheet of water, surrounded 
by a macadamized driveway. Another reservoir, known as 
" Sodam Dam," is now being constructed one mile east of 
the village. The factory of the New York Condensed Milk 
Co., on the east branch of the Croton River, receives the 
milk of 8,000 cows, and produces daily 25,000 pounds of 
" Gail Borden's Eagle Brand Condensed Milk," which as is 
well known, enjoys a world-wide reputation. The drives 
about Brewsters are easy and interesting, and the country 
around is noted for its fine scenery. Resuming our way

again, and passing the pretty little village of Dykeman's, 
we come in sight of the extensive store-houses of the 
National Ice Company at Ice Pond, the source of New 
York City's principal ice supply. The pond — certainly 
worthy of a more distinctive appellation — is a beautiful 
sheet of water of crystal purity — and lies among the hills 
a little to the east of the railroad track. It abounds with 
several varieties of fish, and in Summer is a favorite resort 
of anglers. Two miles farther on is 

Towners, delightfully situated in the midst of a fine 
grazing country. Milk is naturally the chief product, but 
tobacco is also cultivated quite successfully. Leaving 
Towners we speed away over a level stretch for several 
miles, until we come to 

Patterson, one of the most beautiful villages in Put- 
nam County, and an ideal spot to spend the Summer months. 
Farming is the chief occupation, and so fertile is the soil

and the conditions of climate so favorable that bountiful 
crops are the rule. All the surroundings of this place are 
picturesque, the combination of hill and dale, stream and 
meadow, being very pleasant to the eye There are a num- 
ber of handsome houses in the village and several churches. 
The stock farm of Mr. E. A. Hayt is one of the finest in 
this part of the State, and is visited by every one who comes 
to Patterson. A quarry has recently been discovered just 
back of the village, which yields a very fine quality of col- 
ored marble, resembling closely in its markings and general 
appearance Mexican onyx. Experts pronounce it the only 
deposit of the kind in the United States, and it is expected 
that it will very largely supply the place of fine foreign 
marbles in interior decorations, etc. The discovery was 
made by the merest accident a little over a year ago, by a 
party of prospectors, who were endeavoring to locate a 
white marble quarry. A company has been incorporated 
under the title of the Buch-Allen Marble Company, and 
the work is being pushed with energy. A few minutes 
after leaving Patterson, we enter Dutchess County, and arrive 
at 

Pawling, a charming place of about 1,200 population, 
65 miles from New York, and especially fitted by Nature 
and art for a first-class Summer resort. Situated some 700 
feet above the level of the sea, the air is remarkably pure, 
bracing and delightful. The location is certainly as health- 
ful as any in the country, and, with the rapid transit of the 
Harlem Railroad, is so near the great metropolis that busi- 
ness men may spend seven or eight hours in the city between 
ordinary breakfast and dinner hours, and breathe an abso- 
lutely pure and healthy atmosphere 14 hours out of 24. 
Mosquitoes and malaria are unknown here, Pawling is

eight or ten acres, and which have been laid out with 
pleasing and artistic effect, a handsomely improved park of 
200 acres has been provided for the pleasure and comfort 
of guests and visitors. Among the varied attractions of 
the park is the beautiful 

Green Mountain Lake, well stocked with bass and 
other choice fish ; a beautiful evergreen mountain, with 
both walks and a driveway to its summit, which commands 
a delightful view ; there is a club and boat-house of hand- 
some design and ample proportions ; also, in the park an 
excellent half-mile driving course, which is maintained in 




good condition during the season. Within a few miles of 
Pawling there are several lakes. The nearest, about half a 
mile from the hotel, is Green Mountain Lake, in Dutcher 
Park. Whaley and Little Lakes, near by, are noted for 
their excellent black bass, while Hammersley's Lake, a

beautiful sheet of water with shaded lawns encircling it, is 
especially popular with such as are romantically inclined. 
From the summits of Mount Tom and West Mountain, 
situated about a mile to the west of Pawling, a view is pre- 
sented of Catskill Mountains, 60 miles away. 

To the east of the village — about three miles — is 
Quaker Hill, Upon the summit is the Mizzentop Hotel, 
situated at an actual elevation of 1,300 feet above the sea, 
and commanding some of the finest scenery found in the 
North. The healthfulness of the place is unsurpassed, the 
sanitary arrangements perfect. The air is cool, dry, invigor- 
ating and sleep-producing. The walks and drives in the 
vicinity of Mizzentop are beautiful. Hammersley Lake, 
within one and one-half miles, furnishes excellent fishing. 

The historical associations of Quaker Hill are full of 
interest. Here Washington's headquarters were located 
during the Revolution, and the house occupied by Wash- 
ington and Lafayette remains but slightly altered. The 
old Quaker Meeting House, erected in 1764, is within walk- 
ing distance of the hotel. Continuing our way, we pass the 
little villages of South Dover and Dover Furnace, and 
come to 

Dover Plains, an interesting town of between 700 and 
800 population, 76 miles from New York. There is no 
more picturesque region within a few hours' ride of New 
York City, by rail, than the hill country of eastern Dutchess 
County lying along the borders of Connecticut, and tra- 
versed by the Harlem Railroad. The two ranges of lofty 
uplands known as Quaker Hill and Chestnut Ridge 
may justly be ranked among the most healthful localities 
in the State. Chestnut Ridge is about three miles in 
length, north and south, and forms a part of the water-shed

between the Hudson and Housatonic Rivers. Its mean alti- 
tude is about 1,100 feet above tide-water. It is a fragment 
of the Blue Ridge branch of the Appalachian chain of 
mountains, which is cleft by the Hudson at West Point, 
and, stretching away northeastward, includes the lofty 
Taghkanick and Berkshire Hills in Western Massachusetts 
and fraternizes with the Green Mountains of Vermont and 
White Mountains of New Hampshire. The outlook from 
the Ridge in all directions is magnificent. From one point 
there is an uninterrupted view of the entire Catskill and 
Shawangunk Mountain ranges, west of the Hudson, 80 
miles in extent, from the Highlands to the Helderbergh 
Hills in Albany County. The Ridge itself is one of the 
richest grazing and fruit regions in the State, nearly every 
acre being tillable land, and its healthfulness is proverbial. 
The summit of the Ridge is reached by a picturesque high-

way, three miles from Dover Plains Station. One of the 
points of interest to strangers is the magnificent Stock Farm 
of Mr. D. H. Sherman, the General Live Stock Agent of 
the Erie Road. Some of the finest Holstein cattle in the 
country have been bred by him. At Dover Plains are the 
famous *' Wells" and the " Old Stone Church," and both 
will repay a visit. The small streams flowing from the 
western hills have worn deep ravines, and in several places 
have formed beautiful cascades. About a mile southwest 
of the village of Dover Plains a small stream flows clown 
the mountain in a succession of rapids, three to twelve feet 
in height, and at the foot of each fall smooth, rounded 
holes, called " The Wells," have been worn in the rocks to 
a considerable depth. Above these, on the mountains, in 
a wooded gorge with romantic and picturesque surround- 
ings, is 

The Old Stone Church. — A small stream of water 
after leaving a little lake at the foot of the slope of Plymouth 
Hill, glides in murmuring rapids nearly every foot of the way 
until it reaches a point in the mountains west of Dover 
Plains village, whence it descends in sparkling cascades to 
the level fields below. This small stream, in its passage 
down this declivity for ages, has worn for itself a remark- 
able channel through the rocks. At a point toward the 
foot of the mountain it has wrought an extensive Cavern, 
the entrance to it at the outlet of the stream being in the 
form of a Gothic Arch. The " Church " is illuminated 
by a skylight formed by a fissure in the rocks above. This 
light is pleasantly reflected upon the rocky sides of the 
church, and reveals a fallen rock, which, from its position 
and form, is called the "Pulpit." Out of the arched door 
the brook — the patient architect of the church — flows 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 55 

gently, and then leaps in cascades and rapids to the plains 
below. From the apex of the roof the cavern gradually 
widens until, at the base, the span of the arch is about 25 
feet. At the farther extremity of the church is a beautiful 
waterfall, over which a staircase leads to extensive ledges 
of rocks at a height of 30 feet, forming commodious gal- 
leries overlooking the body of the church. The massive 
sombre archway of the stone church cave, the pulpit rock, 
the walls almost perfectly arched, and papered with green 
moss and white lichen, the sound of falling water, and even 
the spray behind the pulpit, like the sprinkling of holy 
incense — all contribute to make it a church of nature's 
own fashioning, literary a little cathedral " not made with 
hands." 

The Great Preacher continues the same old service 
within its shadowed recesses that was commenced ages ago, 
and which proceeds with the same solemn stateliness 
whether men bear or forbear. Day and night, without 
ceasing, vespers, midnight mass and matins proceed. The

deep-toned organ peals as if it were the wind, and the chant 
of the choir mingles its silvery tones as musically as the 
falling of water ; trumpet and cymbal and harp peal and 
fade and echo, and through them tremble tones like the 
far-off voices of young men and maidens singing. At sun- 
rise, through all the long Summer day, at twilight, at even- 
ing, and louder as night deepens, the eternal service pro- 
ceeds, unwearied by the watchers of the day, by the changes 
of season, by the lapse of years, or by the procession of cen- 
turies. The Indian hushed and heard it ; the white fron- 
tiersman heard it ; and it mingles just the same with silence 
or with the shriek of the locomotive as we hurry on our 
journey, and in a few minutes find ourselves at 

Wassaic, a cosy little town of about 400 inhabitants. 
Sr miles from Xew York, that has surprised many tourists, 
familiar with our own and foreign lands, with the imposing 
grandeur and beauty of its scenery. A more delightful 
spot is rarely found. There is a quaintness, too, about the 
place, its surroundings, the numerous quiet nooks and shady 
retreats, that is sure to fascinate the tourist, and afford the 
Summer resident continual, enjoyment. 

A romantic little story is associated with one especially 
charming and secluded retreat near Wassaic : 

On a hillside, commanding a magnificent view of the 
valley below, moss-grown rocks have combined with closely 
intertwining boughs of overhanging trees to form an apart- 
ment of almost architectural regularity, about eight feet 
square (with one open side), and with an altitude of about 
the same number of feet to the level, thickly-grown foliage 
above. Many years ago, but whether it was before or 
since " once upon a time " the narrator saith not, this pretty 
freak of nature was the favorite resort of a bright, merry

little child, named Madge — " Buttercup and Daisy Madge " 
she was called, from her fondness for those flowers. Day 
after day in the gentle spring-time little Madge would wend 
her way to her favorite retreat, gathering as she went the 
flowers she loved best, and would pass hours there counting 
and arranging them to please her fancy. One day little 
Madge went as usual to the secluded nook that had so 
charmed her life, and never returned ; nor has she ever 
been seen since. But year after year a daisy and a butter- 
cup are said to spring up and blossom side by side in the 
place where Madge was last seen, and the place is known 
to this day as the " Madgie Nook." The New York Con- 
densed Milk Company have another of their model factories 




here, which gives employment to several hundred hands, 
mostly recruited among the sons and daughters of neigh- 
boring farmers. The process of condensing the milk and 
putting it into cans, ready for the market, is intensely inter- 
esting, and requires some very wonderful machinery. Three 
miles farther we come to 

Amenia, a handsome and thriving place, 84 miles from 
New York, with a population of about 600. The valley 
here widens into a bay of rolling meadow land, very much

as the Hudson broadens at Xewburgh to one coming up 
the highlands. The Taghkanick Mountains extend along 
the east border, and the Highlands belonging to the Fish- 
kill Range extend through the west part. Xo country 
affords finer contrasts of mountain, hill, ravine, wood and 
cultivated plain. All its approaches from the west are 
beside streams, through gorges, up and down steep declivi- 
ties as wild and varied as those of far-famed Switzerland. 
The contrast between the fairness of a clear Summer after- 
noon and a rugged thunder-storm in the night is not greater 
than that of the fair fields of Lithgow and the stern, dark 
mountains and fearful ruggedness of Deep Hollow. 

Standing on an eminence, midway between the east and 
west ranges, and occupying one of the finest points in the 
Harlem valley, is theAmenia Seminary, founded in 1835. 

Sharon Street, in the State of Connecticut, is three 
and a half miles east of Amenia Station, or two and a half 
miles from Sharon Station, with which it connects by stage. 
Many Summer boarders are attracted to this spot by the 
rural loveliness of the place, the " Street " being 200 feet 
wide and about two miles long. Ranging along either side 
of this superb avenue are grand old elms whose leafy 
branches intertwine o'erhead, forming a natural arbor of 
rare beauty and proportions. Situated at an elevation of 
780 feet, it commands many and beautiful views across to 
the Berkshire Hills, the intervening landscape being dotted 
with thrifty farms and old residences erected more than a 
hundred years ago, but so well preserved that they scarcely 
show the wear of two generations. The principal hotel is 
the Sharon Inn, conducted by genial Solomon Kirby, but 
excellent accommodations are obtainable at a score of other 
houses in the village. Indeed, the only business prosecuted

with any diligence during the season is that of keeping 
Summer boarders. The drive across through the Sharon 
Valley is one of the most delightful imaginable, and unfolds 
a succession of charming views. The drives in this region 
are charming, and in point of healthfulness and in freedom 
from all that is annoying, nothing is left to be desired. 
Passing through Sharon Station and Coleman's, we 
arrive at 

Millerton, 92 miles from New York. Population about 
700. At this point the Harlem Railroad connects with the 
Xewburgh, Dutchess & Connecticut Railroad for Millbrook, 
Matteawan and Newburgh. Lakeville, the home of 
ev-Governor Holly, of Connecticut, is a charming village. 
Two miles to the north of it is the residence of William H. 
Barnum, Esq. Millerton is situated on high ground, is 
exceedingly healthy, and enjoys cool nights through the 
warmest weather. There are few places that have so many 
attractions within a radius of from eight to ten miles. Twin 
Lakes are especially grand, the largest, or north lake, being 
about eight miles in circumference. Near Millerton is the 
oldest iron mine in the United States. The ore from this 
mine was used in making cannon for the patriot army of 
the Revolutionary War. Continuing on our way, we next 
come to 

Mount Riga, 95 miles from New York, and the highest 
point on the line of the Harlem Railroad, and lies at an 
elevation of 672 feet above tide level. The village has a 
population of about 500. It lies in a valley three-fourths 
of a mile wide, bounded on the east by the mountain from 
which it derives its name, and on the west by a range of 
high hills running north about four miles. The principal 
or most prominent hill, called "Cave Hill," is directly 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 6 1 

opposite the village, and is covered by a handsome forest 
growth. On a steep side of this hill is an extensive cave, 
which, to a depth of 400 feet, contains apartments 50 feet 
high. It has never been fully explored farther than 400 
feet from its mouth, owing to the narrowness of the passage 
at that point. Three miles distant, on the very summit of 
Mount Riga are two large lakes, abounding with many 
varieties of choice fish. ■ Two miles north of the village, 
Webotuck Brook has its source ; running south through the 
valley, and augmented by numerous small tributaries, it 
becomes quite a stream of pure spring water, and affords 
good trout fishing. Four miles from the village, on Riga 
Range, is the highest point in the State of Connecticut. 
The next point we reach is 

Boston Corners, an interesting town in Columbia 
County, 99 miles from New York, and the junction of the 
Harlem Railroad with the Central New England & Western 
and the New York & Massachusetts Railroads. Boston 
Corners will long be remembered as the place where the 
famous prize fight between Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan 
occurred. At the point where the "ring was pitched " one 
can step from the State of New York into Connecticut or 
Massachusetts. Resuming our way, a ride of five miles 
brings us to 

Copake, T04 miles from New York, and with a popu- 
lation of about 400. Here are extensive iron works, and 
about two miles east of the station are the famous Bash- 
Bish Falls, a favorite resort for picnic parties, and, as to 
scenery, is one of the finest points of observation between 
New York and Montreal. The waters come dashing down 
the mountain side in a reckless sort of glee, splashing and 
leaping from crag to crag, while here and there, in a sunlit 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 63 

opening of the grand old forest, is the tasteful residence 
of some admirer of the picturesque in Nature. The Gorge, 
the Rock Cliffs, the Eagle's Nest and Sunset Cliff are well 
worthy of an afternoon's visit. Five miles from Copake 
(or Copake Iron Works, as the station is now called) is 

Mount Washington, the southwestern township of 
Berkshire County, Massachusetts. It includes a plateau of 
several miles in extent, with an elevation of 2,000 feet, and 
is bordered by mountain tops which rise several hundred 
feet higher — Mount Everett, which has an altitude of nearly 
2,700 feet, being the highest peak. Many of the surround- 
ing mountain-tops are easily reached by delightful drives or 
rambles, and afford extensive views of the lower country. 
Looking east from Mount Everett, the Housatonic Valley, 
including Great Barrington, Sheffield, Egremont and other 
villages, is in plain view ; and to the west from Mount 
Alandar, the Valley of the Hudson extending to the Cats- 
kill Mountains, 35 miles away. Owing to its elevation this 
place is always cool and breezy, and the absence of manu- 
facturing of any kind renders the air and water pure. The 
scenery is varied and picturesque in the extreme, and the 
seeker after pleasure finds an endless variety of attractions 
— waterfalls, gorges, ravines, lakes, trout streams and excel- 
lent roads, which are well kept. The drives are indeed 
delightful, and include the following places of interest : 
Sunset Rock, Prospect Rock, Mount Fray, Bare Rock 
Falls ; Sage's Ravine, with its numerous cascades ; Bash- 
Bish Falls, with its hotel ; and, by a half mile walk at the 
terminus of a drive, the summit of Mount Everett. No 
place in Berkshire County is so favorably situated as a Sum- 
mer resort as Mount Washington, and the hotels and board- 
ing houses are well filled during the Summer months. The

South Berkshire Mountain Club, an association organized 
for the purpose of securing to a limited number of families 
a sociable, enjoyable and inexpensive Summer home among 
the most picturesque and healthful surroundings to be found 
in New England, has selected as a site the Taconic Wood- 
lands, the westerly portion of the celebrated Sky Farm, in 
the Town of Mount Washington. The Woodlands are 1,700 
feet above tide-water, and are reached by a drive of three 




miles over a charmingly romantic road from Copake Station. 
The Historic Sky Farm Cottage has been selected to serve the 
present requirements of a club house and restaurant. Table 
board and accommodations for a limited number of lodgers 
can be had at reasonable rates. Returning to Copake, and 
resuming our way, a ride of a few miles brings us to 

Hillsdale, a lovely spot, appropriately named, 10S 
miles from New York, and nine miles from Great Bar- 
rington, which is also a popular center for Summer board- 
ers, lying, as it does, in a lap of hills, surrounded by rare 
beauty. Many persons who choose Great Barrington for 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 65 

their Summer home come via Harlem Railroad to Hillsdale, 
so as to enjoy the delightful drive of nine miles across the 
country. The turbulence in Hillsdale for three-fourths of 
a century after its first settlement by civilized people, who 
were composed of different nationalities, has presented any 
historic record being kept of them. In 1620 the King of 
England granted to a New England company all the terri- 
tory in America between the 40th and 48th degree of north 
latitude, with an unlimited boundary on the west, which, of 
course embraced what is now the town of Hillsdale. Sub- 
sequently the government of Holland conveyed to a Dutch 
company the territory in America between the Chesapeake 
Bay and the Connecticut River, the town of Hillsdale being 
embraced in the conveyance. In pursuance of the English 
grant, Robert Noble emigrated from Westfield to Hillsdale, 
and was the first white settler in the town. He, with his 
associates, procured the Indian title to land five miles 
square. They built a fort on what is now the land of 
Leonard Johnson, at which one life was lost in the conflict 
under land titles, and many arrests were made under both 
the authorities of New York and Massachusetts, and men 
were long imprisoned, both at Albany and Springfield. 
Such is the early history of Hillsdale. One poet has sung 
that "A competence is all that a man can enjoy," while an- 
other has sung, " Be it ever so humble, there is no place like 
home." Hillsdale possesses the means for many a happy 
home. There is that about this vicinity which is especially 
welcome and enjoyable to those who love the beauties of 
Nature combined with a pure and invigorating atmosphere. 
Continuing our journey, and passing through Crary- 
ville, Martindale and Philmont, with its manufactories 
and knitting-mills, we come upon one of the finest views in

Catskills. Passing the little town of Ghent, with its 
peaceful population of about 500, we come to 

Chatham, the terminus of the Harlem Railroad, 127 
miles from New York. Population of about 3,000. This is 
a busy little railroad center, where connection is made with 
the Boston & Albany Railroad for all points west ; and for 
Pittsfield, North Adams, Springfield and Boston, to the east. 



jrxM^^m, 




Connection is also made with the Lebanon Springs Rail- 
road for Lebanon Springs and other points north. 
Chatham and its vicinity present many attractions to those 
who, choosing pleasant homes for the Summer, desire to 
seek rest and quiet from the busy turmoil of the city, and 
yet remain within easy reach of railroads, telegraph, post- 
office, etc. With its fine hotels, numerous private boarding-

houses, all pleasantly located, accommodations can be 
furnished for a large number of guests, and at moderate 
prices. Or, should a more rural life be preferred during 
the warmer days of Summer, numberless pleasant farm- 
houses may be found within ten or 15 minutes' drive from 
the village, where all the pleasures of " life on the farm " 
may be enjoyed. 

From the eminences in and about Chatham beautiful 
views may be had of the surrounding country, with the 
Catskill Mountains and the grand old Hudson in the dis- 
tance. These, together with the pleasant drives, good 
roads, and pure, bracing air, add much toward making it a 
most desirable locality in which to take up a residence for 
the Summer months. The lovers of good fishing can also 
find numerous trout streams within a radius of a dozen miles, 
which are prolific with specimens of that gamy species of 
the fish family which delights the heart of the fisherman. 
The lakes of Queechy, Kinderhook and Copake furnish 
ample fishing grounds for bass, pickerel, perch and white 
fish.

Riverdale, one of the handsomest suburbs of New 
York, containing many elegant residences. A little further 
on is 

Mount St. Vincent, where is located an extensive 
Roman Catholic Convent School for girls, famous for the 
excellence of its educational system. The large gray stone 
castle at Mount St. Vincent was formerly the residence of 
Edwin Forrest, the tragedian, but now belongs to the con- 
vent, having been sold by him to the Sisters of Charity, 
under whose management St. Vincent is conducted. 

About two miles above Mount St. Vincent, 17 miles 
from New York, is 

Yonkers, beautifully situated on villa-crowned slopes 
at the mouth of the Nepperhan or Saw Mill River. It has a 
population of about 30,000, and contains several fine 
churches, excellent hotels, and many elegant residences. 
It has gas, water-works and a police department, the latter 
being connected by telegraph with police head-quarters in 
New York City. Many important manufacturing establish- 
ments are located here, among them being mower and reaper 
works, silk, carpet and hat factories, machine and elevator 
works, and the shops of the Eagle Pencil Company. Yonk-

large number of New York's business men, and like all places 
within easy distance of Xew York, is rapidly taking on the 
aspect of metropolitan life. The new Glen Tower Hotel, 
conducted by Mr. Ewen Hathaway, formerly of the Victoria 
Hotel. Xew York, occupies a high bluff facing the Palisades. 
It will be opened for the reception of guests about June 
20th. Four miles above Dobb's Fern* is the village of 

Irvington, named in honor of Washington Irving, 
whose gifted pen has immortalized many of the neighboring 
localities, among them the far-famed " Sleepy Hollow " 
and " Wolfert's Roost." " Sunnyside " cottage, renowned 
as the home of Irving, is close by, near the margin of the 
river, almost hidden from view by the dense growth of the 
surrounding trees and shrubbery. A flourishing ivy vine, 
which half conceals the east end of the house, is the product 
of slips planted by Irving, which he secured from Sir 
Walter Scott on the occasion of his visit to Abbottsford. 

Lyndehurst, the old Paulding 
Manor, now the property of 
Jay Gould, is perhaps the 
most conspicuous of - the 
many fine residences in the 
vicinity of Irvington. Just 
above, 26 miles from Xew 
York, is 

Tarrytown, delightfully 
situated on an elevated pla- 
teau overlooking the wide

and the surrounding country for many miles. Revolution- 
ary memories also cluster thickly hereabouts, and it was 
at Tarry town that Major Andre was captured and the 
treachery of Benedict Arnold exposed. Had the traitorous 
plans of the brave but faithless American been carried 
to a successful issue, the whole succeeding history of our 
country would doubtless have been materially changed. 

Nyack, a thriving and beautiful town, is located on the 
western bank of the Hudson, opposite Tarrytown, with 
which village it is connected by ferry. 

Sing Sing, a handsome little city of 10,000 inhabitants, 
has a national reputation as being the abiding-place of 
many of New York's citizens who for a time have retired 
into an unwilling seclusion. The train dashes by the cold, 
gray walls of the prison, and we almost imagine we can 
hear the clank of chains and the shuffling of feet. The 
town itself is very beautiful, many elegant residences rising 
on the long upward slope from the river and having a mag- 
nificent view. The Croton aqueduct passes through Sing 
Sing, and is carried over a ravine by a stone arch 70 feet 
in height and having a span of 88 feet. Across the river is 
Haverstraw Bay, into which the gallant explorer Hendrick 
Hudson sailed centuries ago, and finding no outlet, thought 
he had arrived at the head waters of the " Shattemuc," as 
the Indian termed the Hudson. His mistake was after- 
wards emulated by Peek, a. bold Dutch adventurer, who, 
having discovered another tributary to the river, thought it 
the main stream. His name and memory are perpetuated 
by the village of Peekskill. 

Continuing the journey, Croton, Oscawana, Crugers 
and Montrose, popular suburban places with many hand- 
some villa residences, are passed in quick succession, and

the traveler is at the gates of 
the romantically beautiful region 
known as the Hudson Highlands. 
One of the prettiest towns on the 
Hudson, situated at the mouth of 
the Peek's Kill, or Annsville Creek, 
is 

Peekskill, 43 miles from Xew 
York, a bustling and thriving 
place of about io,oco inhabitants. 
Its history dates back to a period anterior to the Revolu- 
tionary War, and in those trying times it played an import- 
ant part. On the old Van Cortlandt farm, two miles north 
of the town, yet stands the house in which, for a time, 
General Washington had his headquarters, and just beyond 
can be seen the church in which he worshipped. Historic 
old Fort Independence was situated just above the village, 
where its ruins are still pointed out to the curious. Many 
Revolutionary heroes are buried in the surrounding church- 
yard. Just east of the town is the Summer residence 
and farm of the late Henry Ward Beecher. The town 
contains many beautiful residences and is the Summer 
home of a number of wealthy New Yorkers. Numerous 
large lakes in the surrounding country afford excellent 
fishing. 

At Roa Hook, a mile and a half north of Peekskill 
Station, on a high bluff overlooking the river, is the site 
purchased by the State of New York for the purposes of a 
State camp, and here, every year from June until Septem- 
ber, our volunteer soldiers repair in detachments to under- 
go for a week the routine and rigorous discipline of regular 
army life.

Opposite Peekskill on the west shore of the river is 
Jones' Point, above which rises the rocky and storm-beaten 
crags of the Dunderberg Mountain. Plans are under way 
to erect a large hotel on the highest peak of the Dunder- 
berg, and to construct a spiral railroad 14 miles in length 
leading up to it. Near the Dunderberg is Anthony's Nose, 
rising to a height of 1,200 feet. Forts Clinton and Mont- 
gomery likewise on the west 
side of the river a short dis- 
tance above this point, at 
one time constituted the 
chief fortifications for pro- 
tection against invasion of 
the upper Hudson, and were 
regarded as invulnerable to 
the artillery of the day and 
proof against assault. 

Picturesque Iona Island, 
some 300 acres in extent, 
lies within a triangle formed 
by Dunderburg, Anthony's 
Nose and Bear Mountain. 
This is a favorite spot for 
picnic parties from New 
York. The upper end of the island is devoted to grape 
culture. Leaving Peekskill the train has fully entered the 
Highlands, and beautiful views abound. Passing High-

Garrison, a charming spot of historic renown, and one 
of the popular Summer resorts in the vicinity of New York, 
Its principal hotel is the Highland House, whose charming 
location and excellent service have created a demand for

the year 'round. The Croft House is also very well patron- 
ized. At Garrison connections are made by ferry with 

West Point, the site of the United States Military 
Academy, and of a fortress erected during the War of 
Independence. The site commands one of the finest river 
passes in the world, and the academy is located upon a 
plateau 180 feet above the river. It was established in 1802. 
The fort and a chain stretched across the river by the 
patriots were captured by the British in 1777, but were 
abandoned after Burgoyne's surrender. Stronger works 
were then erected by the Continental forces, and these 
Arnold bargained to betray to the enemy, but his scheme 
was foiled by the capture of Andre. 

West Point is located in the very bosom of the High-

nation in more senses than one, and a favorite resort with 
Summer pleasure seekers. 

The vicinity abounds in delightful walks and drives, and 
within easy access are the ruins of Forts Montgomery and 
Clinton on opposite sides of Popoloken Creek. Near by, too, 
is Bloody Pond, which the simple country folk still believe 
to be guarded by the ghosts of Hessian soldiers, while 
Sugar Loaf and Anthony's Nose raise their lofty crests in 
the background. An object of much interest to visitors is 
an old furnace used during the Revolution for casting can- 
non and other warlike material for the patriot army. 

Many of the pleasant memories and lasting associations 
connected with West Point, the Military Academy, and the 
neighboring hills and valleys, which have re-choed to the 
strains of " Benny Havens, Oh ! " issuing from the throats

Near Cornwall the placid Moodna empties its waters 
into the river. This poetic stream formerly bore the name 
of "Murderer's Creek," and owes the gratifying change in 
its appellation to the appreciative nature of the late N. P. 
Willis, whose home "Idlewild," stands upon its western 
bank, close to the spot where it mingles with the Hudson. 
Nigh to Cornwall, also, rise the steep sides of Storm King 
— colossal, matchless in proportion and position — and 
Dunderburg, with Cro' Nest and Bear Hill nestling between 
them. Go only a little way up the pleasant mountain road 
and you will come to an old farmhouse with orchard and 
grapery attached, where lives one of the oldest of the old 
stock of New York brokers, St. John. He was sent up here by 
his physician apparently in the last stages of consumption, 
with the hope that the pure mountain air might prolong his 
life a few brief weeks, or perhaps a month. That was over

twenty years ago, and now he is over 90 years old, and as 
hale and hearty as many a man in his prime, certainly a 
remarkable testimonial to the healthfulness of this region. 
Still ascending you finally reach the plateau of the western 
spur of the Storm King, 1,200 feet above the sea. On this 
spot the late Dr. E. H. Champlin, a graduate of the medical 
colleges of New York and Paris, and descendant of the 
Champlins who discovered Lake Champlain, built a house in 
which he resided with his family for many years. 

The grandest view from Cornwall Heights, always 
excepting that from the Storm King, is obtained from the 
summit of a large plateau known as the Storm King Park, 
and sometimes called the Baby Tuxedo, as it is planned 
somewhat after Lorillard's Tuxedo Park. On the north- 
western verge of this plateau an elegant club-house is being 
constructed for the accommodation of members and their 
families, and it is proposed to erect in the near future a 
score or more of small dwellings for such of the club mem- 
bers as desire privacy. The park embraces between 400 
and 500 acres, and the club is reported to number about 
100 members. 

Dutchess Junction is the connecting point with the New- 
burgh, Dutchess & Connecticut Railway, along which line 
are located very many attractive Summer boarding places, 
of which Millbrook is perhaps the most widely known. 

Fishkill is a thriving village in Dutchess County, sur-

of Baron Steuben, of Revolutionary fame. Connections 
are made here by ferry with Newburgh, which is located 
upon the western bank of the river. The latter town

Works of the Poughkeepsie Glass Company, which has one 
of the largest melting furnaces in the country, the rolling mill 
of the Phcenix Horseshoe Company, and several large shoe

for its educational institutions, foremost among which is 
Vassar College, for young ladies, which is situated about 
two miles east of the station, and is reached by horse cars. 
The main building, modeled after the Tuileries, is 500 feet 
long and five stories in height. The college has several

Rhinecliff, the station for the village of Rhinebeck, a 
favorite Summer resort, noted for its excellent hotels and 
boarding houses. It has steam ferry connections with 
Rondout and Kingston, nearly opposite. The two latter 
towns are now incorporated as one, and known as Kingston. 
Connections are also made with the Ulster & Delaware 
Railroad for Catskill mountain resorts. 

About a mile south of Rhinecliff Station are Ellerslie, 
the beautiful country seat of Vice-President Morton, and 
the handsome residences of R. B. Buckley, Jacob Ruppert 
and others. 

Kingston is the capital of Ulster County, and has a 
population of more than 20,000. It was incorporated as a 
city in 1S72, and is a bustling, pushing town. It has a 
front of four miles on the Hudson. Beautiful scenery 
abounds in the vicinity, and there are many pleasant and 
romantic drives in the neighboring country. It is also the 
terminus of the Ulster 6: Delaware and the W-alkill Valley 
railroads. Six miles further up the river we come to the 
next station, 

Barry town, named in honor of General Barry of Rev- 
olutionary fame. The town was founded in 177S, and 
numbers about 250 inhabitants. Old settlers refer to it as 
Lower Red Hook Landing. In the vicinity are two mag- 
nificent estates — one, Montgomery Hall, built by the 
widow of the brave General Montgomery, who lost his life 
in the assault on Quebec, stands on a high bluff overlook-

Tivoli has regular ferry connection with Saugerties, an 
enterprising village on the west bank. From this place is 
obtained a comprehensive view of the Catskill Mountains, 
and on a clear day the Overlook Mountain House, Hotel 
Kaaterskill and Catskill Mountain House may be easily 
distinguished. Speeding reluctantly past the pretty little 
villages of Germantowx and Linlithgo, the traveler next 
reaches 

Catskill Station, no miles from New York, which 
connects by steam ferry with Catskill proper, the capital of 
Greene County. This is the landing place for thousands 
of tourists who annually visit the Catskill Mountains lying 
a few miles to the west. 

The new Otis Elevating Railway completed this season 
connects with the Catskill Mountain Railway at Otis 
Junction, and will become the popular route for Catskill 
Mountain House, Hotel Kaaterskill, Laurel House, Haines'

House, one mile from Hotel Kaaterskill, one and one-half 
miles from Laurel House, four miles from Haines' Falls and 
Twilight Park, and six miles from Tannersville. Transfer 
to the first two hotels is made by stage and to the more 
distant points by stage or rail.

oldest cities in the State, having been incorporated in 1785, 
and has about 12,000 inhabitants. In years gone by it had 
a large amount of shipping engaged in foreign trade and the 
whale fisheries. It is now chiefly engaged in the manu- 
facture of iron and the export of agricultural staples. At 
this point connections are made with the Boston & Albany 
Railroad ; also with the Kinderhook & Hudson Railroad 
for Kinderhook and Niverville. 

The quaint old village of Claverack, in Columbia 
County, is located four miles inland from Hudson, and is a 
historic place. In the present era, however, its chief claim 
to distinction lies in the fact that it contains within its 
limits the celebrated " Claverack College and Hudson 
River Institute," a prosperous and well-conducted school 
for both sexes, which has attained a national reputation.

The handsome and substantial college buildings, surrounded 
by beautiful and well-shaded lawns, and commanding most 
charming views of the romantic scenery in which the neigh- 
borhood abounds, are the features of the village. The old 
Dutch Church, with its staring date of 1767 on its western 
side, shines out in old-fashioned red among the towering 
oaks that keep ward over it and its adjoining cemetery. 
On the opposite crest is " Fairview," the stately mansion 
built by the late Dr. Flack, who was the founder of the 
college, and its president for more than 30 years. Down 
the village street are the residences of the descendants of 
the Muhlers, the Ostranders, and the Van Rensselaers, and 
in a quaint old yellow-brick dormer-windowed house are to 
be seen the lares and penates of Gen. James Watson, and 
other distinguished — Webbs. The "Spook Rock," in a 
shady swirl of the Claverack Creek, is visited on moonlight 
nights by the neighboring swains and their sweethearts, who 
linger to see it turn in its shiny bed when it hears the Insti- 
tute bell. Resuming the journey, the hamlets of Stock- 
port, Coxsackie, Stuyvesant, Schodack, and Castleton are 
quickly passed, and the train rolls into the station at 

East Albany. This is the point of separation for 
those traveling still further north and those westward 
bound. The former continuing on to Troy and other 
northern points, while the latter are borne across the 
stupendous bridge over the Hudson, which forms the con- 
necting link between East Albany and Albany. 

Albany, one of the most flourishing cities in the East, 
and the capital of New York State, is situated on three 
hills on the west bank of the Hudson, six miles below the 
head of tide-water, and at the point where the Erie and 
Champlain Canals join the river. Founded by the Dutch

(in 1607), having long ceased to be inhabited, only the 
ruins of a church tower and a few tombstones remaining to

honor of the Duke of York and Albany (afterwards James 
II.). It was chartered in 1686 and became the State cap- 
ital in 1797. Owing to its commanding position at the 
head of navigation on the river, Albany is most advantage- 
ously situated for commerce, and is the chief emporium for 
the transit trade of the coast towns with those of the north 
and northwest. It is also the center in which a number of 
railways meet, connecting it with the East by the Boston &

the North, East and South, bound for Sharon Springs, 
Cooperstown, and Otsego Lake, can quickly reach their 
destination by taking the Albany & Susquehanna Division 
of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's Railroad. Of 
the public buildings the New Capitol, recently built, is a 
very large and imposing edifice, covering more than three 
acres of ground, and is one of the finest and most expensive 
buildings in the State. 

Troy, six miles above Albany, is a flourishing city with 
a population of about 60,000. It contains many large man- 
ufactories of various kinds, attractive streets and avenues, 
tasteful houses and handsome churches. Poestenkill Creek 
Hows through the city, and supplies water to numerous

extensive electrical, iron and locomotive works and car

of Schenectady and the massacre of its inhabitants, which 
took place February 9, 1690, was one of the tragic events 
which marked the early struggles of European nations for 
supremacy on this continent. The invaders were French- 
men and Indians from Montreal, under the command of 
Lieut. Le Moyne de St. Helene, who passed down the 
Mohawk by way of Lake Champlain and the trails branch- 
ing southward from the head of that lake. The march was 
made on snow-shoes, and was one of the most notable 
undertakings in the early history of border warfare. Suc- 
cess depended on surprising the town at night and prevent- 
ing any adequate defence. The surprise was complete, 
and only sixty, old people and children, were spared. Con- 
nections are here made with the Delaware & Hudson Canal 
Company's Railroad for Ballston, Saratoga, Lake George 
and Lake Champlain. Crossing the iron bridge that spans 
the Mohawk River at this point, the tourist is borne rapidly 
through a delighful section, and soon arrives at 

Amsterdam, an enterprising and prosperous city of 
over 20,000 inhabitants. It has many large factories, 
including the extensive carpet factories of S. Sandford & 
Sons, the linseed oil works of Kellogg & Miller, carriage 
spring, broom and boiler works on a large scale, and is 
located in the midst of romantic scenery. 

Fonda is the county seat of Montgomery County, and

Among the most delightful places within a few hours' 
ride of New York are the now famous resorts of the Berk-

principally in Southwestern Massachusetts, and are reached 
by the fast trains of the Harlem Division of the New York 
Central & Hudson River Railroad. A ride of 19 miles from 
Chatham, over the Lebanon Springs Railroad, brings one to 

Lebanon Springs, famed for the medicinal springs 
which gave the village its name, its beautiful valley and 
pure mountain air. The drives in the neighborhood of the 
springs are unsurpassed by any watering-place in the world, 
whether it be along the beautiful valley roads leading to 
Nassau, to Queechy Lake and to Williamstown, Mass., 
Lenox or Stockbridge, or surmounting the hills and moun- 
tains which encompass the place in almost every direction, 
where new beauties open to the view with every mile. 
Conspicuous among the numerous places for the entertain- 
ment of guests is Columbia Hall, a large hotel situated on 
the slope, and overlooking the valley and village. This 
hotel has lately been thoroughly overhauled and refur- 
nished, and now takes its place among the first-class 
Summer resort houses.

and to one in quest of comfort, quiet pleasure and rest, no 
place offers greater advantages. Just east of Twin Lakes 
the Housatonic River is first seen, and its course is followed 
closely by the railway to Canaan, a beautiful village, com- 
paratively well known, and receiving each season a large 
number of Summer visitors. A few miles further on we 
reach the summit of the Litchfield Hills, and the village of 
Norfolk, the beauty and delights of which can illy be 
described here. 

From Norfolk magnificent views are to be seen in every 
direction. Bear Mountain (the highest land in the State), 
Bald Peak, Haystack Mountain, Talcott Mountain and 
many others are plainly visible. On the top of Haystack 
Mountain a Belvedere was erected some four years ago, 
and from this a view is had that is probably not excelled in 
America, mountain peaks in Connecticut, Massachusetts 
and New York being plainly visible. 

Very many Summer cottages of elegant design and 
finish are located here, and many more are building ; the 
residents being the citizens of Boston, Hartford, New 
Haven and New York. 

It is but 30 miles to the world-famed Lenox of the 
Berkshire Hills, and an excellent country road between the 
two points is freely utilized by those who love long country 
drives.

Ballston, N. Y., is the seat of Saratoga County, and 
possesses a population of about 4,000. Its mineral springs, 
of which there are several, are similar to those of Saratoga. 
It attracts many visitors each season, who prefer its quiet 
life to the excitement of the more frequented resort.

Bennington, Vt., situated in a picturesque mountain 
valley, 800 feet above the sea, is one of the prettiest towns 
in the State. It is handsomely built, and has a resident

population of 8,000. Pleasant drives and walks, grand 
views and good fishing in neighboring streams commend 
this as a particularly delightful vacation resort. 

For excursion routes and rates see index. 

Columbia Springs, N. Y — This is a quiet, rural 
resort in the Claverack Valley, five miles distant from Hud- 
son. A pleasant lake in the immediate vicinity affords 
excellent fishing, boating and bathing facilities. The Spring 
House and several well appointed boarding-houses offer 
superior accommodation to visitors. 

For excursion routes and rates see index. 

Cooperstown, N. Y— This quiet and storied village, 
the center of the romantic region made famous through the 
writings of its gifted resident of by-gone years, J. Feni- 
more Cooper, is located at the southern extreme of Otsego 
Lake. It is surrounded by lofty hills, and contains many 
handsome homes, and several good hotels. The Cooper 
House, recently destroyed by fire, will probably be rebuilt on 
a much more extensive scale and under the management 
of Mr. S. E. Crittenden enter a new era of fame and pros- 
perity. Cooperstown is reached from Albany via the Dela- 
ware & Hudson Railroad, and from Utica via Richfield 
Springs by a pleasant tally-ho coach ride and a steamer 
voyage down the lake.

Catskill Mountains.— Of all the health and pleasure 
resorts reached by the New York Central & Hudson River 
Railroad, none excel in picturesque and varied beauty, and 
certainly none equal in legendary and historical association, 
the Catskill Mountains. Approaching within 10 miles of a 
great national highway, they have since the earliest days of 
the settlement of the country commanded the attention of 



HARLEM AND THE HUDSON. 107 

all the voyagers on the Hudson River. These mountains 
have a beauty and grandeur of their own, and have prob- 
ably been seen and admired, if not visited, by more travelers 
than any other mountain group on the American Continent. 
Many of the beauty spots of the Catskills appeal partic- 
ularly to the sentimental and poetic side of one's nature. 
There is very little that is practical and every day about this 
region, hence its peculiar charm for people of overworked 
bodies and tired brains. These lofty heights and towering 
cliffs, — these fertile plains and smiling valleys, awaken 
thoughts and conceptions far removed from the intruding 
cares and annoyances of our work-a-day world. That is 
medicine for the mind. That is what the tired city man and 
woman want. And oh, the breath of the Catskills! It 
invigorates. It infuses life. It inspires zeal. Two weeks 
of it will expand your lungs for the balance of the year. 
Summer hotels and boarding houses abound in every part of 
the mountains. Rates are reasonable and accommodations 
good, the man of modest means can probably get more for 
his money in the Catskills than anywhere else. In fact, as 
a rule, it is cheaper to board here than to live at home. 
While living is apparently cheap in the Catskills, it will 
prove dear in the long run unless you are sensible and 
make up your mind where to go before your Summer ward- 
robe is made, then, have your garments made roomy. In 
the fall they will fit nicely, for you will surely grow fat. In 
this way your tailor and modiste will not profit unduly by 
reason of your sojourn here.

Cranston's-on-Hudson is situated on the west shore

Fort Edward, N. Y. — The beautiful and enterprising 
town named Fort Edward, in honor of the Duke of York, 
brother of King George III. of England, retains few remind- 
ers of the stirring scenes enacted on its site in early Colonial 
and Revolutionary times. It is now one of the favorite 
.Summer resorts of Northern New York. 

For excursion routes and rates see index. 

Glens Falls, N. Y. — This charming village takes its 
name from the picturesque falls of the Hudson, which tum- 
ble over a rocky precipice 6$ feet high and 900 feet long, 
and is a much frequented Summer resort. The island below 
the falls is associated with some of the most thrilling inci- 
dents of Cooper's " Last of the Mohicans." 

For excursion routes and rates see index. 

Howe's Cave, N. Y. — This remarkable cave is situ- 
ated on the line of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, 40 
miles from Albany, and is a great natural curiosity. The 
entrance to the cave is but a few rods from the station, and 
is reached by a short walk through the handsomely laid out 
grounds belonging to the Pavilion Hotel. Cataract Hall, 
the Haunted Castle, Stygian Cave, and the Devil's Gateway' 
are some of the main features of the cavern. Through 
drawing-room cars over the New York & Hudson River 
Railroad, in connection with the Delaware & Hudson Rail- 
road, run direct to Howe's Cave.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y.— This delightful Summer resort 
may be reached by the New York Central & Hudson River 
Railroad to Poughkeepsie ferry, to New Paltz Landing, and 
thence by stage, but the most desirable route is by the West 
Shore Railroad direct to New Paltz. The lake and its sur- 
roundings form one of the most wonderfully beautiful bits 
of scenery to be found anywhere in this country or the Old 
World. Two large hotels furnish accommodations for 
Summer boarders.

Lebanon Springs, N. Y. — These springs, famed for 
their medicinal properties, are located on the Bennington &: 
Rutland Railroad, 154 miles from New York. The village 
is 1,000 feet above the sea, and the air is always fresh and 
invigorating. Columbia Hall, the principal hotel, has been 
entirely refitted and refurnished, and this season will be 
conducted under the management of Mr. T. W. Stevens. 
The Shaker Village near the springs is worth visiting, and 
strangers are always welcomed and politely entertained. 

For excursion routes and rates see index. 

Millbrook, N. Y. — Situate at high altitude in the 
midst of a charming country noted for superb mountain 
scenery, exceptionally fine roads, beautiful walks and drives, 
this village is becoming a second Lenox, and a number of 
New York's best people make it their Summer home. 
Numerous lakes and mountain streams afford excellent 
fishing. Livery is good and charges reasonable. Millbrook 
Inn, the principal hotel, is new, artistic, and perfectly 
appointed. Several other good hotels and boarding houses 
furnish first-class accommodations. The facilities for reach- 
ing Millbrook will be greatly improved this season, and in 
addition to the already ample service it is proposed to start

entrance to the famous Hoosac Tunnel, one of the most 
wonderful feats of modern engineering skill, is two miles 
south of the village. The great Natural Bridge, Profile

in the vicinity. Many grand views are obtained from the 
hills which surround North Adams on all sides. The 
Berkshire Hills have long been famous as a health and 
pleasure resort.

Saratoga Springs. — Acknowledged the most popular 
and accessible of all American Spas, is the center each sea- 
son of the highest social, educational and political gather- 
ings. The broad piazzas of the vast hotels present a pan- 
orama of the best and most varied types of our leisurely 
classes reinforced by thousands of the affluent citizens of 
other lands. Primarily famous for its diverse medicinal 
waters it is still more popular with the world at large because 
of its constant gaiety and the peerless beauty of its environ- 
ment. Aside from the beautiful artificial features found in 
Congress Spring Park, and other improvements 
kind, the drives through Hilton Park and to Sara- 
toga Lake are always enjoyable. A highly inter- 
esting feature of Saratoga is "The Pompeia," an -J 
exact reproduction of the house of Pansa, 
buried by Vesuvius in the year 79. The 
building is over 180 feet long, and has 
already cost over $100,000. Ranging ^../;J, 
through the spacious halls, the visitor 
can follow in detail the life of a Roman 
noble from his worship before the Tern- ^JBtJ^!

sented by a carved ivory ticket to his seat in the amphi- 
theatre. The building is a monument that will take its 
place with the most impressive and unique contributions to 
the art of this century. It is one of the most interesting 
exhibits in the world ; in fact, there is nothing like it any- 
where else. Enough exquisite work is displayed to warrant 
the belief that Saratoga's replica of the departed glories of 
Pompeii will become famous through the land. The hotels 
of Saratoga are among the largest and finest in the world ; 
the most noted being the United States, Grand Union, 
Windsor, Congress Hall, Kensington and Clarendon, while 
a host of smaller hotels and boarding-houses furnish excel- 
lent accommodation at from $7.00 to $25.00 per week. 
During the season, the famous Saratoga Specials via the 
New York Central and Delaware & Hudson Railroads run 
daily in both directions, and the Saratoga Limited, one of 
the fastest trains run on the continent, and composed ex- 
clusively of drawing-room and buffet cars, will leave New 
York Saturdays at about 2 P. M., and returning leaves 
Saratoga Mondays at 6 A. M. An elegant dining-car is 
attached to the south-bound train from Saratoga, serving 
breakfast immediately upon departure from the station. 
From Saratoga the visitor may readily enter the enchanted 
region of the Adirondacks, over the route of the Adiron- 
dack Railway or via the Delaware & Hudson Railroad to 
Lake George, Lake Champlain and the northern portion of 
the Adirondack Mountains as well as all points in North- 
ern New England and Canada.

and surrounded by high hills, Sharon Springs justly occupies 
a foremost position among the sanitariums and fashionable 
Summer resorts of the world. Its springs of chalybeate, 
magnesia, white sulphur and blue sulphur, and its celebrated 
pine-needle and mud baths possess wonderful curative 
powers in blood, skin, liver, rheumatic and neuralgic affec- 
tions. The New York Central, in connection with the 
Delaware & Hudson Railroad, maintains through parlor and 
sleeping car service between New York and Sharon Springs 
for the accommodation of the annual rush of visitors to this 
famed resort.

Williamstown, Mass. — This town is beautifully situ-

and Sand Springs, so efficacious in the treatment of cutane- 
ous diseases, are among the attractive resorts in the neigh- 
borhood. Drawing-room cars will run through between 
New York and Williamstown during the Summer.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. 



rHHE passenger equipment of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad 

I is acknowledged to be the FINEST IN THE WORLD, and it is only fair to 

give credit to those who have aided in establishing its peerless standard 

of excellence. . 

SCHENECTADY LOCOMOTIVES 

VI /HE passenger engines are the most powerful and at the same time the fastest 
in the world. They haul the EMPIRE STATE EXPRESS and the other 
fast trains of the New York Central, and are the wonder of mechanical 

engineers everywhere. They are built by the Schenectady Locomotive Works. 

Schenectady, New York 

THE BARNEY-SMITH DINING CARS. 

CT7HE Dining and Buffet Cars, which add so much to the luxury of a journey via 
I the New York Central, and which are models of artistic car building, com- 
bining all the very latest devices for the convenience and comfort of the 
traveler, are built by the Barney-Smith Manufacturing Company of Dayton, Ohio. 

THE GILBERT PASSENGER COACHES. 
rHHE new Standard Passenger Coaches of the New York Central, with twelve- 
wheel trucks, high back seats, upholstered in the finest plush, large windows and 
enclosed lavatories, are believed to be the finest now in use on any railroad in 
the world. Some of these coaches are 70 feet long, with a seating capacity of 72 
passengers. They are built by the Gilbert Manufacturing Company of Troy, N. Y. 
PINTSCH SYSTEM OF GAS LIGHTING. 
'HE Pintsch System of Gas Lighting, recognized as the most perfect light, 
adopted by the great railways of America and Europe, gives a steady, soft yet 
brilliant light, free from offensive odors, enabling a person to read during the 
evening with perfect ease. It is undoubtedly the most satisfactory method of car 
illumination ever introduced. The gas is compressed and stored in reservoirs 
underneath the car. The Safety Car Heating and Lighting Company system of 
Heating by Hot Water Circulation from Steam is used on through trains and 
Palace Cars. 

GOULD COUPLER AND PLATFORM. 

CT7HE passenger coaches, sleeping, dining and buffet cars of the New York 
Central are all equipped with the Gould Coupler and Platform, which is con- 
sidered the strongest and safest device of its character in use, contributing 
largely to the safety of passenger trains. Built by the Gould Coupler Manufac- 
turing Company of Buffalo, N. Y. 

WAGNER PALACE CARS. 

T the beginning of the Summer season of 1892, all the through trains of the 



K 



_ New York Central will be equipped with new and magnificently-appointed 

Wagner Palace Cars, directly from the shops of that company, at Buffalo. 

They will contain all the latest and best improvements known to the car 

builders' art, and will be equipped with the Perfected Wagner Vestibule which, 

patented and used exclusively by the Wagner Palace Car Company, is superior in 

all respects to any othei form of vestibuling device 

No other company approaches the New York Central in the number, speed 
and elegance of its passenger trains

WO HUNDRED and 
Eighty Years ago, 
after traversing the 
Hudson River from its mouth 
to Albany, and carefully 
noting the grandeur and 
beauty on either side of this 
magnificent highway ol 
nature, H end rick Hudsor 
wrote these words : 

"Ht is as beautiful a Ian* 
as- one can treat) upon.' 




To breathe th.e glory of tt\e tailless air 
With, pleasurable pan.tin.gs of the blood, 
To wander over sweetly spelling fields, 
To lie Upon t^e h.eath.ery slopes and dreary — 
To dream., to plan, to picture."
